1. How many computers and copies of software do I need to carry out the activities?
One computer lab with 32 student work stations, printers both B&W and color, one SmartBoard and one projector Over the next few years, develop an inventory of laptops: one mobile cart of 16 per floor, and 5 laptops per classroom this year, 5 more next year and 5 more the year after that until we are on a one-to-one ratio at least in the 5th grade. Also, develop an inventory that includes: ipods, digital cameras, digital video cameras, projectors, SmartBoards, scanners or all-in-one type printers

2. How many computers and copies of software are available?
Speaking for PS 239 - the lab is being replaced this year because the computers have come off warranty. We have 4 mobile carts and we need to start loading up the classrooms with more up-to-date equipment.

Besides MS Office, the only titles I really use are Rosetta Stone (which runs $180 a copy) and Adobe CSD4 (which runs $305)
